Watch out for the sizing!!!
Although I love the boots made by this company, the sizing tends to be a little bit off. I went to my local outdoors store to try on some Sorel boots before I bought them. Because I have a gift card I wanted to buy the boots online, but the last pair of Sorel boots were not sized right for my foot, so I decided to try on some of their different brands first and then order them. When I went to my local store, these shoes fit great, but I had to buy a whole size bigger than usual. I usually wear an eight, but I had to buy a nine (which fit perfectly). I would definitely recommend the boots, but be cognizant of the sizing!

Great comfy boot Sizing way off
I read the reviews before purchase. I almost always wear a 9 in Sorel with the exception I may go up a half size for thick socks or down a half size for barefoot. After reading the reviews on this boot I purchased ONE WHOLE SIZE BIGGER, a 10. They fit exactly like all of my other 9’s. And if I had intended these for thick socks I would half to go up to a 10.5! Which would be crazy! But regardless that I’m wearing a 10 that fits like a 9, they are so cozy and fuzzy inside with a pillowy walking on air bottom. I’m considering a second pair in another color. I hope it’s just a fluke with this one shoe that the sizing is this far off or else I’ll be up into size 11’s with Sorel by next winter!

Great, Light Weight
I absolutely love these boots. I had been looking into getting a pair for a while, but never took the plunge because of the reviews of them being narrow. I have a pretty wide foot and was unable to take the suggestion of sizing up a half size due to the fact that I wear an 11 normally and that's the largest size they offer. I decided to try them on in store and was absolutely amazed that they fit! I absolutely love how light they are and how great they look!

Great quality winter boot!
These are some seriously cute and comfortable boots! After reading the reviews I sized up 1/2 size to 7.5 (I wear 7 in everything and have a wide foot) and they are perfect. With a thin sock they leave a slight amount of room but you can tighten them up with the laces and with a thick sock they’re just right, not tight. The inside is a soft warm fleece, and the suede has a nice soft give to it.
I’m going to get a lot of wear out of these in the winter months.

Disappointed
My go-to size is 8 for boots/sneakers. I ordered an 8.5, based on reviews. My toes were touching the end of the boot, with thin socks. Otherwise, the style was very nice and the bed of the shoe was very comfy.
I then returned, and ordered a size 9. Still too small. Never in my life have I even tried a size 9. They arrived in a generic brown box (no Sorel on the box like the first order), and the right boot had a scuff mark on the suede and the side of the sole, as well as a small grey sticky spot on the suede. It almost looked like some kind of adhesive I couldn't get off.
Needless to say, I was disappointed not only with the fit, but the condition of the boot that arrived.

Try on in a store
I'm an 8 or 8.5 in most boots and shoes so after reading the reviews here I ordered a 9. It was a bit too small so I reordered a 9.5 and it felt smaller than the 9. I would reorder a 10 but I don't want to pay $6 return shipping a third time if the 10 doesn't work out. I don't think quality control is very good for this product so order with caution. I would highly recommend trying on in-store if you can or ordering from a retailer with free returns.

Perfect winter boots
These are the most comfortable winter boots I've ever had. It feels like wearing a sneaker that's fuzzy and waterproof, and has good traction. They have a removable insole so I replaced it with my custom orthotics, and I could wear them forever. Much more comfortable than my Uggs, so much so that even though I have a perfectly serviceable pair of Uggs still lying around I wore them once after wearing the Sorel pair for a while and haven't worn the Uggs since. It would be nice if they looked a bit more fashionable, but they're not bad, and the comfort makes up for any lack of cuteness. I'm bummed the clearance going on right now doesn't include my size, I would totally buy another pair for whenever I wear these out.

Bummed..Too Small
I’m a size 8 in boots and sneakers. I ordered the 8.5, following people’s advice. The boot itself has a very warm, comfortable inside..but my toes were touching the end w/thin socks.
Sadly, they will go back :(

I bought these for my teen and she LOVES them. I got them on sale intending them for next winter, but I can't get her out of them. Please, listen to the reviews; I bought a full size up and they fit her with just a little to spare.

Love these Explorer Joan Boot
These boots feel great and look really cute. I like the fluffy tops to keep them feminine and the rubber soles feel like running shoes. I also like the height as they are just tall enough for warmth but not too tall on my athletic legs. I got them in Camel and Quarry. Our winters can be cold in North Texas and these will help keep my ankles warm.

SOOOO COMFORTABLE!!!!!
These boots are so comfortable! They do run about a 1/2 size small - I usually wear an 8 1/2 in boots and needed a 9 in these, I also have a wide foot and I have plenty of toe room!! Would definitely recommend!

color was a lot lighter than picture
I LOVE these boots but they are considerably lighter than the picture on line. I bought the Quarry Black but they are very grey...light grey.
Other than that I super love them and appreciate the comfort that they provide just like all of my other boots from sorel.
I saw that some posted that they ran small but I thought not. I ordered my regular size and they fit perfect like my other boots...I have very narrow feet which may have something to do with it??
I am happy with my purchase other than my wishing for the color in the first and second to last picture shown.

Super cute and super small
These boots are adorable. I absolutely loved them when they arrived. However they do run small. The toe box on these were still to small even with ordering a half size bigger than I usually wear. I highly suggest ordering a whole size up. They are however super cute and looked warm and cozy for all day wear.

Highly Recommend
This boot is super comfortable, warm, and most importantly, stylish! I live in North Dakota, where it gets very cold with a lot of snow. The best part of these shoes is the traction. We get very slick streets, sidewalks, parking lots, etc. Typically you see people doing the 'penguin shuffle' to avoid falling. I don't have to do that in these boots! I absolutely love them, and get a lot of compliments. I would highly recommend buying a pair, esp if you live in a cold climate!

This boot is SUPER cozy
Super cozy and comfortable boot. Lightweight. Does run small. I typically wear a size 9 -- but sometimes have to size up to 9.5 with Sorel footwear. This boot fits snug with socks for me in a size 9.5.

Runs Small
I’m a size 8 but I have somewhat wide feet. after reading a few of the reviews, I ordered a size 9 and they fit perfectly. If I would have gotten my true size or even half size up, they would have been uncomfortable. Perfect boot just incorrect sizing. Even other size 8 shoes I own make this boot look like a loose 7.5.

AMAZING
I absolutely LOVE these boots!! I was reading the reviews before I ordered them and I would normally get a size 5 however the reviews said to size up a half size if you wear thick socks which I do! I'm very glad I did! I live in Minnesota and got these boots just in time for the snow storms we've been having. I would highly highly recommend these boots! I also love that I can wear them with just about anything and still be stylish! they are the perfect snow boot!

Love the style
I have had these boots for about two weeks and I’ve worn them everyday except maybe three of those 14 days! They can be dressed up for work or warn to the game with my favorite hoodie! I even wore them to church. So warm and comfortable. I love them!! I don’t normally spend that much on shoes or boots, but well worth the money. I did have to send the first pair back because they were too short, I normally wear a size 9 but had to get a 10. They were a little wide for my very narrow foot but I just wear a thicker sock. Would very much recommend this boot!
Thanks

Stylish and Functional
I bought these a few weeks ago and I am very pleased! I wanted boots that were functional for snow in New England but not bulky. These boots are just that! They are warm, water proof, and stylish. If you have a wide foot order a size up. I usually wear an 8.5 or 9 and ended up with a 9.5.

Great Winter Boot
First, I'd like to say that I purchased these within a hair of them going on sale so I paid full price and shipping too. I did not think this was fair considering I buy so many Sorels. It really IS not fair.
Having said that--this boot is my favorite of all Sorel boot purchases this winter. I got the first Explorer Joan boot from Zappos in the Gray color. I wanted black, but sold out here & just about everywhere. I went up a half size to an 11 & have average foot width. There's plenty of toe box room & room for socks, yet they are so fuzzy warm with the lining that I don't need socks. The gray color is a deep gray, comfort level is outstanding. Perfect for the coastal area where I wear them. dragging camera equipment around in the wet, damp & tides. Waterproof is needed & it delivers that. Second pair of these boots I bought here, last month (Jan) in the color Wine & again no black in size 11, so I was "settling" on the color I wanted. I was happy when they arrived though, because the wine is a dark color & you don't really need to match it perfectly with like colors. Love these boots & if I can ever lay hands on black in size 11, I will be very happy! Highly recommended, but when you see your size it's best to grab them, because they sell fast. (I took pix of the gray ones but they would not load to the post.)

Runs Very Small
Super cute but style runs VERY small. I normally wear a 6 but ordered 6.5 and 7 to try based on reviews saying these srun small and they weren't kidding. Had to return both because my toes were jammed in, even when I went a full size up. Not sure if I'd need to go up another half or full size, but the larger sizes are sold out, so sadly no Explorer Joan for me.

Just bought!
So I just bought these and I found them in store so I could try them on. I have one other pair of sorels (Joan of arctic wedge boot) and those are 9.5, I tried these on in both 9 and 9.5 as those are my two usual sizes (I have average feet, not wide or narrow). I bought the 9.5 as it was slightly more roomy, especially for thicker socks. But the 9 was not crazy small. Super cute on and comfy! Haven't worn yet but I know trying to decide size when buying online is always a pain!

warm, comfy and waterproof
I bought these a couple months ago, and they seem to be everything I'd hoped for. they are very comfortable, even for a long day on your feet. I wore them on a trip from ATL to Des Moines, trekking through both airports, then into the super cold of iowa. While there it snowed (about 6"). Wore them outside to play in the snow with some ski socks and my feet were super toasty. and stayed dry the whole time. Wore them the next weekend in a trip to TN, ended up being as cold or colder than Iowa, and once again my feet stayed toasty.
Nice enough to be causal with jeans. but also can go with athletic outfits too.
Worth the money, very happy with my purchase so far.

Cozy, warm & adorable but traction isn’t amazing in very cold slushy conditions
The more solid bottom makes their traction a bit questionable for the current Wisconsin conditions (4° and snowy/slushy) so I will continue to wear my Columbia winter boots when it’s like this out but they sure are toasty warm and very comfortable even with no socks on. I wear a 10 in most shoes and size up to a 10.5 for heavy sock room but for these I had to size up to an 11 and they fit perfectly and have the right look to not make me feel like Bigfoot!

The color of these boots are AMAZING!! They keep your feet nice and warm and are literally perfect!! I wish I can get all the color available, but they have sold fast! If you are wanting these, get them while you can! BEAUTIFUL is all I can say! If you like to wear thicker socks in winter, I would suggest going up a half size. I am normally a 7.5 and had to return them for an 8, luckily they have a few more eights available!!

I love these shoes and they are very comfortable. I did have to replace my first pair because the loop at the back ripped. The second pair seems to be holding up much better. I’ve worn them almost every day because of the snow, and they are extremely warm as well.

Big foot ladies beware
I have long, narrow feet (size 11), so I am ALWAYS on the prowl for shoes that are cute and make my feet look...well...not as big as they actually are. I found these shoes during black friday and fell in LOVE immediately, which is why it hurts me SO DEEPLY to write this next part. The boots felt like they were at least a half size, if not a full size too small. Feeling discouraged, I took to the Sorel website to order a size up, but alas, the 12s were sold out. Heartbreaking stuff, especially because the boots REALLY DID make my feet look way smaller - they are everything I have ever wanted and more in a snowboot. Dearest Sorel, if you could find it in your heart to manufacture ONE MORE PAIR of these marvelous boots in a size 12, I would be eternally grateful.

Very comfortable, like a sneaker
I bought the grey in a size 9 but I am a size 8 to 8.5. I first purchased the 8.5 but had to size up because they were a bit snug with medium weight socks. So I would recommend sizing up if you don’t like a tight toe box and want to wear medium to thick socks or size up only half a size for a comfortable fit. They have kept my feet warm and dry in 30 degree rainy weather. My only wish is that they had a side zipper for quick on/off but they aren’t too bad since they do have the tongue stitched up the sides so nothing slips and everything stays in place. They are waterproof but I sprayed them again before wearing them to keep them extra clean since they are a suede leather. And for a boot, they are extremely comfortable.

I have a few pairs of Sorel boots that are pretty heavy duty. I love that these are lightweight. I walk with my dogs and kids outside all the time in these and they are super comfortable and warm. Like other reviews have mentioned, they do run a tad small. My other Sorel boots are 9’s and I got these in a 10.

I love these boots!
I bought these a few weeks ago and haven’t worn any other shoes since! I live in a cold, snowy area and these are so comfortable and keep my feet warm and dry - ALWAYS. I have arthritis in my feet and can’t wear many kinds of shoes. For that reason, I have been wearing uggs a lot, for the softness and wiggle room they provide. These have more structure than uggs but are still very comfortable and soft. They also have a lot more support than uggs, which is nice. I highly recommend these boots! Glad I spent some extra money and got Sorels!

Runs way too small!
I have a couple pairs of Sorel boots so I know their sizing is not consistent. I wear a size 8 normally. It's rare that I have to size up to an 8.5 but I ordered these in an 8 and an 8.5 because one of my Sorel boots is 8.5 and the reviews said they ran a little small. The size 8.5 was soo tight on my foot, I could only wear them with a thin sock and the fit was not comfortable at all. Never in my life have I worn a size 9. I'll be returning these and not even bothering to buy the 9. I'm really fed up with Sorel. How hard is it to have consistent sizing? Buying their shoes is always a guessing game and an inconvenience. No thanks!

NOT FOR WIDE FEET
These are adorable, made well and a great product as long as you don't have a wide foot. I have some other Sorel boots I got from this site, in a 6, and they fit great. I ordered these in a 6, they are so snug I couldn't have put them on with a thin sock. I have no room at all in front of my toes, and I could immediately feel the pressure from my foot being compressed inside the boot. I wear a size six pretty much always except my running shoes I sized up half a size to accommodate for swelling when I run long distances. I feel like I would have to have gotten a size 8 to get the width I needed and then they would have been way too long for me. I'm giving 3 stars only because I feel like sizing should be consistent with a brand, or noted in the description that something fits narrow or slim. Had they fit like my others, I would have given 5 stars. I'm sad, because I love them, but had to return. On that note, they are so easy to return.

Handled ND like a champ
I bought these last minute to go out to North Dakota in the winter for a funeral. They kept my feet warm and toasty in the 20 degree or less weather. Not sure about actual snow performance as it didn't snow while I was there, but they seemed to be decently grippy on ice. They were a little tight across the ball of my foot but after a couple wears were totally comfy.

Perfect for the winter
I love, love, love these boots. They are comfortable to wear all day long (I walk a lot too) and they are super warm. Plus, they are very stylish (I get a lot of compliments on them when I wear them). I have been looking for a good pair of boots to wear in the colder months and glad I finally found these. I live in Tennessee where it doesn't get too cold, but I am from Ohio and return often. These boots worked well in both climates. I recommend.
